Attachments Tab Overview

The Attachments tab allows users to upload and manage supporting documents such as application guidelines and assessment criteria. For example, you may wish to organise documents in folders so that items related to pending or reviewed applications are kept separately. Attachments can be uploaded when a Round is in Draft status.

Attachments cannot be uploaded until one folder has been created. Users have the option to individually create folders or import a set created at the Group level. To create a folder structure, parent folders must be created first, then child folders.

In the following examples, we create a root folder called Assessment Files with two folders (children) that sit within it called Criteria and Guidelines. We will also import a root folder called Round Management which has the following children Outcomes and Contracts.

Create Parent or Root Folders

1. Open the relevant Round and select the Attachments tab.

2. In the Folders section, select Add button and then select the Add root level folder option.

Import Folder Structure

Your organisation may have determined a pre-defined folder structure which can be uploaded into a round. In this example, we are importing a root folder called Assessment Files with two folders (children) that sit within called Criteria and Guidelines. The child folders will be automatically imported with the root.

Note: You will not be able to import a folder structure if you have created a root folder with the same name. For example, if a folder called Assessment Files had already been created, you cannot import the Assessment Files folder structure. You could rename the existing folder or manually create the folder structure.

1. Open the relevant Round and select the Attachments tab.

2. In the Folders section, select the Import button.

3. Select the check box next to the relevant root folder and then select Save. Multiple folder structures can be imported at once.
